Huffington Post Heralds New Galactic Album

There's an extraordinary new story at the Huffington Post profiling GALACTIC's landmark new album YA-KA-MAY, out Feb. 9th on Anti- Records. The piece is written by journalist/music blogger Sal Nunziato and details the extraordinarily ambitious scope of the New Orleans outfit's record, which seamlessly gathers all the vibrant and seemingly disparate musical styles of New Orleans - from "Bounce" hip-hop, R&B, hard funk and beyond - on to one momentous record featuring an all star roster of local luminaries. The piece is accompanied by a fascinating new video detailing the New Orleans music scene and the making of YA-KA-MAY.

"You are in New Orleans," Nunziato writes. "Anything is possible, and no one knows this like GALACTIC. GALACTIC is New Orleans. On February 9th, prepare to be "bounced" like you've never been "bounced" before. Prepare for some new possibilities. GALACTIC, known worldwide for their special blend of New Orleans funk, R&B, hip-hop and soul, adds some special ingredients to their serving of YA-KA-MAY, the band's 6th studio release, and an album that breaks new ground in the Crescent City. This is NOT your grandparents' New Orleans record, though the special guests will make your grandparents shout 'Hoo-Na-Nay!'"
